Definitely wine people.


North part of south island. Very much like California. Sunny and warm with lots of bays. Personally, I'd just do the south island; but I'm very much an outdoor guy. The south island is gorgeous. My favorite place may be Stewart Island way down on the south tip. The west coast isn't as empty as it used to be but it's still pretty great. Milford Sound is stunning but you need luck to get a clear day.

One tip - look into Skycouch on Air New Zealand. You can get an entire row of 3 seats that will fold down into a flat "couch" with special bedding. It is a lay flat seat that is larger than business or first class but cheaper. It was pretty awesome when I did it.

Meh. For one person I can see it being ok, but then its not cheap (you pay for 3 seats) and its definitely not BC service. Last year on the way back from AKL my wife and I tried the couch and it was miserable for 2 adults

If I’m going that far I’m not paying for it. I’m using miles for BClass

Yeah, we flew HA BC from HNL to AKL. I think it was only 50k miles ea. Couldn't find any BC on the way back for miles.
